Disclosed are a method for producing bacterial cellulose and a bacterial cellulose product produced therefrom. The method comprises culturing a biologically pure cellulose-producing Proteus strain in a liquid medium that is suitable for culturing facultatively anaerobic microorganisms, separating the bacterial cellulose produced from the liquid medium, washing said cellulose followed by drying. The strain is preferably a Proteus myxofaciens strain, preferably IDAC 071005-01 or ATCC 19692. The liquid medium is provided with a carbohydrate substrate containing at least one sugar selected from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, fructose, lactose, xylose and rhamnose. |
